This may sound crazy (and coming from me it most likely is) but all those times I’ve admired and envied others for what they do and how much they accomplish, it never occurred to me that someone might be thinking the same of me. (Still hard to wrap my head around that concept…) It’s time to get out the measuring tape. If I can find it – I don’t sew. Sigh.
And here I thought I was the only one who felt that way! At least I used to. I still struggle with it a little, I think everyone does. As I have gotten older I have decided it isn't worth the anxiety, it isn't worth checking to see where you are in the pecking order. I just try to be myself and be the best I can be, and it has made all the difference in how I feel about myself:>)
Good article...Thanks for sharing. It is crazy how we all think the same way. I don't want to compare myself to others but I always do. A little pat on the back now and then is a good thing even if it comes from your own hand.
Thanks so much for dropping by my blog with your kind comments. Love what you have here! It's so nice to see someone illustrate their writing -- and your choice of art is excellent.
Thank you so much for your visit to my blog. It was so exciting to be featured in an interview :). Your blog and art look amazing! I am eager to explore more. And I loved this article from Modish, she hit the nail on the head! I can enjoy what I do, and I can enjoy what others do without comparing myself to them. Cheers! Heidi

Yes it is a reminder we need ... too often.
